Carl-Uno,
What's an IETF? My objective is to get something, other than an rfc on mail
or evil bits in IP headers, published. And I want to do it in a timely
manner. I do not have the luxury of waiting years for our pleads with the
IETF to be heard. The IETF appears to have little interest in addressing
the boring subject of printing even though that it is a major source of
support calls from real users.
I want to reach consensus and demonstrate interoperable implementations
before I worry about how long, or if, the IETF will take to move this
standard forward.
Pete

Peter,
When you talk about an IPP/1.2 spec are you expecting that to be published
by the IETF?
If so, should we plan to hold an IPP WG meeting in the next IETF Meeting
(Vienna in July)?
